Senior plc: FY21 Post-close Trading Update
Senior plc ("Senior" or the "Group"), an international
manufacturer of high technology components and systems, principally
for the worldwide aerospace & defence, land vehicle and power
& energy markets, today issues this trading update for the year
ended 31 December 2021 (the "Period").
Key Points
-- Full year trading in line with expectations
-- Positive net cash flow of around GBP58m
-- Net debt (excluding capitalised leases) of GBP80m modestly
better than expectations
-- Improved profitability from restructuring and cost reductions
-- Overall, recovery underway in core markets including civil
aerospace
Trading update
For the full year 2021, subject to audit, Group revenue is
likely to be around GBP659m, with both Aerospace and Flexonics
Divisions in line with management's expectations. The Group
anticipates the adjusted loss before tax(1) will also be in line
with management's expectations.
In our Aerospace Division, when compared to the prior year, part
of which was pre-COVID and included Senior Aerospace Connecticut
for the full year, 2021 revenue is expected to be around 12% lower
on a constant currency basis. In Flexonics, revenue is expected to
grow around 10% compared to the prior year, on a constant currency
basis. The decisive actions we took on restructuring and other
costs have resulted in improved profitability in both divisions
compared to the prior year.
As previously discussed, overall, we are seeing recovery
underway in our core markets including civil aerospace and
anticipate that continuing in 2022 and beyond. While the impact of
the pandemic and industry wide supply chain constraints are still
with us, we continue to manage these diligently. We will provide
further detail at our full year results presentation.
Cash generation and financial position
The Group generated strong net cash inflow of around GBP58m in
2021. After accounting for lease payments and currency movements,
net debt at the end of December 2021 is expected to be around
GBP80m (excluding capitalised leases of GBP73m), a reduction of
GBP49m from December 2020.
Notes
All full year 2021 figures are subject to audit.
(1) Adjusted loss before tax is before amortisation of
intangible assets from acquisitions, goodwill impairment and
write-off, net restructuring costs and corporate undertakings.
